How to remove parts of asphalt driveway?

Hello,

I would like to replace part of my driveway with flower beds and I need to take out about 100 sq. ft. of asphalt. I don't mind some amount of labor and I am wondering if there is a tool ( shovel like?) that can be used to break it up?

Most driveways I've pulled up, a sledgehammer and prybar have been sufficient. If you're keeping the rest of the driveway, you may want to run a circular saw with a masonry blade along your cut line. It'll keep you from having a ragged-looking driveway.
